Cisco Catalyst Switch Modules 3110G and 3110X for IBM BladeCenter
4
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping support to limit flooding of IP multicast
z
traffic.
Multicast Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) registration (MVR) to continuously send multicast
z
streams in a multicast VLAN while isolating the streams from subscriber VLANs for bandwidth
and security.
IGMP filtering for controlling the set of multicast groups to which hosts on a switch port can
z
belong.
Dynamic address learning for enhanced security.
z
Support for multiple EtherChannel load balance algorithms (SMAC or DMAC, SIP or DIP,
z
XOR-SMAC/DMAC or XOR-SIP/DIP) to offer maximum performance on aggregated links.
Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) for redirecting traffic to wide area application
z
engines, for enabling content requests to be fulfilled locally, and for localizing Web traffic patterns
in the network (supported by IP Services feature set only).
Manageability
z
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for identifying a switch through its IP address and its
z
corresponding MAC address.
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) Versions 1 and 2 to aid in troubleshooting and reporting on
z
misconfiguration of ports connecting to other devices supporting CDP.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and LLDP Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) for
z
interoperability with third-party IP phones.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) for providing a consistent time stamp to all switches from an
z
external source.
Directed unicast requests to a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server for obtaining software
z
upgrades from a TFTP server.
Default configuration storage in flash memory to ensure that the switch can be connected to a
z
network and can forward traffic with minimal user intervention.
In-band monitoring of the switch through the built-in Cisco Device Manager Web-based tool.
z
In-band management access through up to 16 simultaneous Telnet connections for multiple
z
command line interface (CLI)-based sessions over the network.
In-band management access through up to five simultaneous, encrypted Secure Shell (SSH)
z
connections for multiple CLI-based sessions over the network. This option is available only in the
cryptographic software image.
In-band management access through SNMP versions 1, 2c, and 3 get and set requests.
z
Out-of-band management (CLI) with switch module’s console port.
z
Supported by CiscoWorks management software.
z
Protected Mode feature to isolate switch management from Advanced Management Module, for
z
increased security of the switch.
Cisco Network Services (CNS) embedded agents for automating switch management,
z
configuration store, and delivery.
Cisco Network Assistance (CNA), a free GUI-based application tool to configure most features of
z
this switch. For more information and download of CNA, go to

Extensive debugging options to aid in troubleshooting and diagnosing issues.
z
Support for multiple management interfaces.
